Intensive Grant Writing Workshop

Grant Writing Program

PROPOSALWRITING INSTITUTE

for Graduate Students in the Humanities and Social Sciences

September 26-27, 2015

Workshop Description

The Proposal Writing Institute is designed for students in the humanities and social sciences who are in the process of revising well-developed draft proposals for specific funding agencies with submission deadlines this fall - whether for completion fellowships, research, write-up, or post-doctoral projects. Applicants submit a proposal completed in accordance with the requirements of an actual funding agency, which might include SSRC, ACLS, Charlotte Newcombe, AAUW, Mellon and DAAD, among others.

The Institute provides extensive feedback from an interdisciplinary group of Emory faculty who will review proposals and interview applicants using the same standards and criteria as the interdisciplinary committees of external funders. It also provides opportunities to discuss your own proposals in individual sessions with faculty.

All potential participants must submit a proposal, budget, timeline, curriculum vitae, and application coversheet (see next page). Guidelines and selection criteria for students’ target funding program must also be included.

Time and Place

The workshop will be held over two days, September 26-27 (DUC 338). You MUST be able to attend the entire workshop.

How to Apply

You should pick a specific external funding agency to which you will apply and submit a proposal that meets all that agency’s requirements and follows their guidelines with respect to length, format, bibliography, etc. (Please do not use a typeface smaller than 12 point.) Along with your proposal, please submit the descriptive guidelines and selection criteria for the program for which you have written. If the guidelines do not require submission of a project budget, timeline and curriculum vitae, add those to your application packet.
